Nothing But Trouble (Detective Jessica Daniel) by author Kerry Wilkinson starts out with a serious hook which will keep you glued to the book! Jessica is still a bit at odds since Adam is still in the coma. She immerses herself in her work and in her mentoring and friendship with Becca.
A senior citizen thinks someone is repeatedly trying to break into his home at night. He calls the department several times wanting something to be done. Although his son comes to stay with him to assure his father that he is safe, the old man rigs his own trap for the intruder. (How did the son not hear his father setting up this elaborate scheme? Would the son not have checked all the rooms and doors several times during the night to make sure there have not been intruders)?
The plot starts off with a prison van being rammed by another truck and two of the prisoners' escape. Later one of the prisoners is murdered. This sets the stage for an intense investigation as to why a prisoner would be helped in an escape and then put on display during his murder. Always look to the primary reasons for murder: money, power, or family! The twists of this book are very interesting and the answers cause heartache for many families.
The author knows how to keep the reader's interest going because I have noticed a pattern of hints and clues which let you know there will be more to come in the next book. I love that we are to stay attuned!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
